Although Shen Hongmei had prepared herself mentally to face her ex Zhou Hui, she didn't expect to be caught so soon.

Although she considered herself to be open and honest, she still felt uncomfortable when being stared at by Zhou Hui's scrutinizing and hostile eyes.

"Zhou Hui, long time no see, what have you been busy with recently?"

Zhao Dafa's greetings temporarily diverted Zhou Hui's attention.

"I was just busy doing nothing. I opened a small shop and sold some barbecue and fried skewers."

Zhao Dafa nodded, "That's good, after all it's my own business."

Looking at Zhao Dafa's spirited face, Zhou Hui's heart couldn't help but feel sour.

After not seeing him for half a year, she found that Zhao Dafa had become even more handsome and charming.

Her lonely and unwilling heart couldn't help but feel a little restless, and her tone became gentle, "Dafa, my shop is just in front, go sit for a while, and try my cooking skills. I specially learned the barbecue recipe from a famous chef, and I have many repeat customers."

"I have something else to do today, maybe next time. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he took Shen Hongmei's hand and walked towards the vegetable market.

Staring at the two people's intimate hands, Zhou Hui's face twisted with anger.

That bitch Shen Hongmei is really getting together with Zhao Dafa!

After entering the vegetable market, Zhao Dafa not only did not let go of Shen Hongmei's wrist, but instead held her hand.

This is the first time the two have held hands since they started dating.

Although Zhao Dafa had held her hand before, it was always with the intention of comforting and encouraging her.

At this moment, the two people holding hands is a completely intimate interaction between lovers.

Shen Hongmei's face was as bright as a rosy cloud.

After walking a few steps, Zhao Dafa suddenly leaned his head closer to her, "Are you so afraid of her? Your palms are sweaty."

Facing Zhao Dafa's ridicule, Shen Hongmei pretended to be calm and denied it, "I'm not afraid of her. What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Are you afraid of me?" Zhao Dafa asked again.

"No."

She just wasn't used to such public intimacy.

Although she and Ma Chao had dated and even done intimate things, she was young at that time and her emotions were reserved.

At most, we would hide in an empty mountain or haystack and give each other hugs and kisses.

In front of outsiders, the two dared not do anything intimate at all, and even walked on the street deliberately keeping a distance from each other to avoid suspicion.

Although she is no longer young and ignorant, she is still conservative and shy like a girl at heart.

"That's good."

Zhao Dafa stopped teasing her and took her to a vegetable stall and asked her to choose the dishes she liked.

Zhao Dafa started chatting with the vegetable vendor, and it seemed that they were acquaintances.

By the time Zhao Dafa finished chatting with the vegetable vendor, Shen Hongmei had also chosen her vegetables.

Seeing Zhao Dafa staring at the vegetables in the basket, Shen Hongmei couldn't help but get nervous, "What's wrong? Did I choose badly?"

Zhao Dafa smiled at her and said, "No, I picked a good one. They just happen to be Xiaoyun's favorites."

"I just picked it randomly."

There are not so many coincidences in the world, it’s just a matter of careful consideration.

Zhao Dafa naturally understood this principle.

But he was not disgusted by such thoughts, instead he was very happy.

After buying the vegetables, the two returned to Zhao's house.

It was Shen Hongmei's first visit, and she was very polite. In addition to fruits, tea, cigarettes, alcohol, and cakes, she also prepared separate gifts for Zhao Yun and Aunt Deng.

They are familiar with each other and get along well with each other.

Zhao Dafa drove her back.

"So, I didn't lie to you, did I? Xiaoyun likes you very much, and Aunt Deng has a good impression of you too, saying that you are better than Zhou Hui."

"Xiaoyun is a sensible child and very polite to others. Aunt Deng is also very kind and the food she cooks is delicious."

Hearing her say this, the smile on Zhao Dafa's face deepened.

He was also very satisfied with today's meal.

Shen Hongmei looked out of the car window, and her mood was not as relaxed as she appeared.

Although Zhao Yun seemed to be smiling and respectful to her on the surface, with her female intuition, she could clearly feel that Zhao Yun was not as enthusiastic and intimate with her as before.

She thought that Zhao Yun was unable to accept the change in identity for the time being.

Before she started dating Zhao Dafa, she also treated Zhao Yun as her younger brother. After all, they were only eleven years apart in age.

"Hey, Ziheng, Aunt Hongmei is really in love with my dad, what do you think I should do?"

Seeing Zhao Yun's sad face, Pei Ziheng asked in confusion: "Didn't you want Aunt Hongmei to be your stepmother before, but now you don't like it anymore?"

Zhao Yun squeezed the ball in his hand irritably, "It's not that I don't like Aunt Hongmei, it's just that, that's it..."

Zhao Yun hesitated, "I'm going to tell you, but don't tell anyone else, including Aunt Mingzhu."

"Then stop talking."

Zhao Yun: “…”

"Aren't you curious about what I want to tell you?"

"I'm not interested in your business."

Zhao Yun: I feel like I've been hit hard! "Then don't tell Aunt Mingzhu for now. I haven't even told my dad about this."

Pei Ziheng did not comment: "Tell me what it is first."

Zhao Yun stood up and closed the door. The dog came up to Pei Ziheng stealthily and said, "My mother is back."

"Whose mother are you?"

"I have several mothers, of course my biological mother!"

Pei Ziheng looked at him, "When did it happen?"

Zhao Yun squeezed the ball in his hand from time to time, "It's been half a month."

No wonder Zhao Yun always liked to go out alone during this period, and looked very happy every time he came back. He thought Zhao Yun was secretly in love with some little girl, but it turned out that he went to see his biological mother.

Pei Ziheng asked: "Why did she come back at this time?"

Zhao Yun briefly explained the situation of his biological mother He Liyi.

After He Liyi gave birth to Zhao Yun, because the Zhao family was too poor and she couldn't get along with old Mrs. Zhao, she ran away to work in another place in a fit of anger.

He originally thought that he would come back to pick up Zhao Yun after making some money, but after he got out, he was deceived and forced into a black workshop. Not only could he not make money, he couldn't even get enough food to eat. He had to work like an animal every day and could only sleep four or five hours, which ruined his health.

"…She said she was too embarrassed to come back to see me and my dad, so she had been doing odd jobs outside for years. Last year, she was diagnosed with lung cancer, so she managed to collect the money to come back to see me."

"She said she didn't want to affect me and my dad, she just wanted to make up for her mistakes before she died and spend more time with me."

Zhao Yun's face showed a distress that was not suitable for his age. "I like Aunt Hongmei very much, but she is my biological mother after all."

Zhao Yun's dilemma shows that between his stepmother and his biological mother, he chooses his biological mother.

After all, blood is thicker than water.

In the child's mind, no matter how good a stepmother is, she is not as important as the biological mother.

Pei Ziheng said: "Have you ever thought that she came back to find you because she saw that your father is rich now."

Zhao Yun retorted unconvincedly, "Aren't the reasons why Aunt Hui and Aunt Hongmei are willing to date my dad because he is rich? Otherwise, who would date an old man like him?" (End of this chapter)
